The baby Lexus certainly needed an uplift and it is a nice one. It could also do with a more powerful version. Just one powertrain leaves out many, many buyers.
It seems like Toyota's hybrid programme kind of slowed down with the development of the 1.8L petrol hybrid powertrain.
Perhaps due to lack of competition in past but things have changed now and other car makers are finally catching up.
About time Toyota developed more hybrid powertrains - more efficient, cleaner and frugal. Did I say more refined?
